What is the best application/program do you think you have ever made?

My answer is my Page Edit 2 program that im working on.

How about you?
 
Best application I have made, I would say have to be a automated test program that tested an electronic box application. It sent commands to the box. Then I monitored the outputs with GPIB controlled devices. Such as multimeters and Electronic Load Box. I also controlled a relay matrix that I built and was controlled through the RS232 port. With the information, I recorded the data and sent to a database. It also retrieved data so the operator could pick the model they were testing and get the correct specs for that model.

How about you tell us what your program does :).

Well, Its basic right now, Create/Edit webpages, Features stuff like: Formatting Text, Adding Tables, Links, a few PHP Things & Images.

(If you have downloaded it, That aint got all the things i'v listed like Links, In the next alpha release it will have that and more things)
 
Best program ever for me? Probably a spline drawing program back in college. It was "refactored" perfectly before I even knew what refactoring was. It was a testament to it's "goodness" that I ported it from QuickBasic to VB3 to VB6 with no problems and almost no changes.

Second best is a super secret one I'm working on right now - my "masterpiece". Don't ask, I can't tell.

Not by best work, but one of my favorites (funnest to do) was SMS like app that went across an enterprise network pulling hardware and software information off remote computers without installed software on those target computers. Had a nice GUI, remote installing, etc.
 
My best app ever? Hmm... Since I program for hobby and I have a terrible habit of not finishing my programs I can't include some of my most promising work. My best completed app ever was a ROM editor for an NES game. Hmm... Me? A geek? Nah!

My best would probably be Reflector. A game I made for a contest in March. ( I lost miserably ).

I'd post a link to download, but I think links to downloads with .exe's are forbidden. Maybe I'll upload it later.
 
My best program to date...Volts, Electrical Design / Build Software. I'm implementing permetric intergration in the new version and CAD, dxf exporting very soon for the program's generated schematics and reports.

To date I've won 2 Product of the Year awards from the electrical industry and its generating some nice income as well.
 
I've developed so many apps now...

One of my personal favs is my Guitar Tab Generator (http://www.samsmith.co.nz/tab), which enables me to make simple changes to text files and then produce simple HTML web pages that all link to each other easily and quickly. It's sure saved me a lot of time.

But at work, I think my fav is a application I just finished to help employees write reviews. It's a multi-threaded desktop application, with offline/online abilities, integrated Word spell checking, xml based reviews that are encrypted and saved to the local users machine, and then a nice submission process that then parses the XML and stores all the results in a database for easy reporting, It also looks (and acts) very slick, and as an added bonus, its incredibly simple to understand the code and debug.
 
I've done two apps I'm proud of.

One was an application that would open up an application, read keystrokes from an XML file and send keys to the various fields in the application. It doesn't seem like much and isn't a lot of code, but took me a week or three researching all the techniques and whatnot. It was basically used to run applications on a timed basis in the middle of the night. Now I'm proud of it, but it's clownshoes compared to applications like AutoHotKey which I could have done this in like 20 minutes (learning curve included).

The other was a scheduling application. Took me forever to complete as the people who had contracted me kept changing the specs on fundamental levels... I feel like redoing it for myself someday with the features I want and customizable like I want it.
 
My favorite was coded in x86 but as far as .net goes I created a program back in the day that was nothing really special in todays visual studio's but years ago i created a program that would stream my webcam to a local page on my server that folks with credientals could see. (apache along with some php code was also used)

x86 im still new at but I just like the way the code is laid out (funny how that is its usually folks saying they love the feel of .net's layout hehe) i created a calculator so far in asm.. @_@ but it was fun ^_^ and took me hours to do hehe longest it took me for any language rofl.
 
Well being a mining engineer, I created a software that would give you the blasting patterns based on the parameters that were input like the rock condition, vibration levels, flyrock, required output etc.

The program even showed a glimpse of what the face would look like after blasting and it gave us both elevation as well as the side view of the face. Also gave the estimate of amount of explosives required and other theoritical reporting stuff.

Had a facility to be connected to a vibration monitor and could directly read the output of the same.

Has to be my best so far. But that was all in VB6.0.

Taking of .NET, I created a web.config editor application that also had the facilities of encryption in it.

My favorite is an old one... a Z-80 editor/assembler and disassembler written in TRS-80 Model III BASIC. My second place one was a drawing program that I wrote on the same computer in Z-80 machine code. I used the memory utility (can't remember the name now) to write the program directly to memory then dump into a file. I had figured out the file format of the CMD (equivalent to an EXE) file so it could be executed normally. This was of course before I made my editor/assembler.
